DAIRY-FREE SAVORY SAUSAGE GRAVY



Dairy-Free Savory Sausage Gravy image

Fairly basic, large-batch sausage gravy recipe that I've developed over time. The family loves it every time, so the large batch is needed! Normally I'd use soy milk for most things, but I've found that in greater quantities it tends to froth badly. Almond milk does not have this problem though! Serve over warmed biscuits or toasted bread of your choice.

Time 25m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds breakfast sausage
2 ½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cube beef bouillon, crushed
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups almond milk, or as needed
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons ground black pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Break sausage apart in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until starting to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add Worcestershire sauce to the mix and let it heat up before adding beef bouillon and nutmeg. Stir and cook sausage until no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes more.
  • Reduce heat to medium low and sprinkle in flour gradually. Cook, stirring constantly, until flour coats the sausage and is completely absorbed. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes more.
  • Pour in almond milk gradually, stirring constantly until gravy starts to thicken, up to 12 minutes. Add a little more almond milk if too thick. Season with salt and pepper. Continue stirring vigorously until gravy reaches desired thickness. Remove from heat and let cool. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound breakfast sausage
1/4 cup flour
3 cups milk
Seasoned salt and freshly ground pepper
Fresh herbs (, optional)
12 biscuits

Steps:

  • In a large frying pan or skillet, cook breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking apart into crumbles as it cooks.
  • When cooked, approximately 10 minutes, remove meat using a slotted spoon. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Reserve rendered pork fat.
  • Reduce heat to low and stir in flour. Continue to stir until it makes a paste and turns a light brown.

Time 30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound ground pork sausage
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups milk

Steps:

  • Place sausage in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Remove sausage, drain and set aside.
  • Pour off most of the fat from the pan, leaving about 2 to 3 tablespoons. Return pan to medium-low heat and add flour. Using a whisk, stir vigorously until roux forms, scraping bottom of pan. Reduce heat to low and let roux cook at least 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Grandma always "burned" hers a little on purpose.

Add more milk if a thinner gravy is desired. You may also add some of the cooked and crumbled sausage to the gravy.

SAVORY SAUSAGE GRAVY

I received this recipe at a cooking show that was being sponsored by Rhodes Bread. I've made a couple of tweaks to the original recipe & it's a real hit in my house. Due to the mushrooms & basil, it's perfect for when you want breakfast for dinner. It's best served hot over your favorite freshly baked biscuits. I also prefer to make it in an iron skillet, being a Southerner it just seems to make it taste better!
